Letter to Brezhnev
€23.49
'A brave new tradition in British filmmaking, in which the heroes are ordinary people, seen with love'. Roger Ebert
Two Merseyside girls escape their humdrum lives for a night on the town, where they meet two Russian sailors on shore leave. For Teresa (Margi Clarke), it's a welcome bit of fun, but for Elaine (Alexander Pigg) it turns into much more
One of the key British films of the 1980's Letter to Brezhnev is set against the backdrop of Thatcherism, Liverpool's club scene, one-night stands and a Europe still in the grip of the Cold War. Written by Frank Clarke and directed by Chris Bernard (both whom worked on Brookside) and starring a fresh and young cast it remains a hilarious and uplifting tale of how love and idealism can help ordinary people realise their dreams.
Special Features:
- From Liverpool with Love (15 mins): making-of documentary
- Newly filmed interview with actors Alexandra Pigg and Peter Firth
- Newly filmed interview with actor Margi Clarke
- Three audio commentaries featuring Alexandra Pigg, Margi Clarke, and director Chris Bernard
